Which radars cover Keuka Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 63 miles east-southeast. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Keuka Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 63 mi east-southeast | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 87 mi west-northwest | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 106 mi northeast | 10,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
